Black Dragon Kung Fu Training
Join a community focused on personal growth and authentic martial arts practice in Hazelwood, MO
Strength. Discipline. Skill.




ABOUT OUR PRACTICE
The Fighter’s Guild is first a group of individuals looking to practice combat skills in an inclusive, fun, high spirited way who maybe find new friends along the way.
This doesn’t take away the effectiveness of Black Dragon Kung Fu, an 8 animal style using both Northern and Southern fist, but actually enhances the practitioner's ability to stay calm and relaxed during real life altercations.




MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Sifu Joe is a former law enforcement officer, investigator, bouncer, rugby player, Labor Union official and amateur fighter with over 22 years of Black Dragon and mixed martial arts experience. In his past careers, he has had decades of real life combat in hand to hand and armed conflicts, all while keeping a humorous take on serious situations.
Sifu Holt teaches with a light-hearted, encouraging approach to combat arts—ideal for students who enjoy learning in a positive, focused environment rather than a harsh or traditional ‘hard-line’ atmosphere.
"Some of the most lethal people I’ve ever met, were also the kindest people with the best of humors."
-- Sifu Joe
